The Dewey Hotel Museum, located in Historic downtown Dewey, Oklahoma, is a stately Victorian hotel built in 1899 by city founder Jake Bartles. The museum is furnished in period pieces. Exhibits include early Dewey and Bartlesville history, Bartles family history, Indian Women's collections, Jake Bartles recreated office (including authentic Bartles pieces), and Dewey Round-Up photos, programs, and ephemera.

Tours are self-guided. Docents are available to provide information and answer guests' questions. There is a gift shop stocked with local history books, photos, and souvenirs. The museum is open April-November, daily 10:00 am - 4:00 pm and Sunday 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Closed holidays.  Adult admission is $3.00.

The Historic Dewey Cemetery is located north of Dewey on US Highway 75. There are headstones from as far back as 1899. The graves of notorious bank robber Henry Starr, nephew of Belle Starr, can be found at the cemetery. The mausoleum of the Bartles family (Jake Bartles founded Dewey) is also in the cemetery. Dewey is also the final resting place of Julia Dalton, another infamous Dewey resident. View an article about Julia Dalton's exploits. She lies in an unmarked grave next to her parents.

Information about burials at the Dewey Cemetery can be obtained by stopping in at City Hall or calling (918) 534-2272.

The well is located on the corner of Don Tyler and Delaware. This historic well was the first in the territory, and was named for the man who started the community. Tom Mix used the well to water his horse! You should note that the replica of the original sign marking the historic well has been duplicated down to the mis-spelled word: "wattered".

As you travel along Bison Road from Durham Ave, you will see a herd of wild Mustangs who have found sanctuary in Dewey. Many people mistakenly think this is a place they can bring their horses to for retirement. It is not. It is a place for relocated Mustangs from South Dakota. The Government sponsors the horses so they can live out their lives here instead of living in over-crowded lands out West. Tours are not offered. This is a drive by opportunity. You are welcome to drive by and look at the beautiful horses.

This unique structure is one of several buildings in Dewey that are made of concrete from the Dewey Portland Cement Co.
